The World’s Best Brassiere and Shoe Art in Seoul:
“Slave of Love” by Elio Pedaro, for example, has a bra cup in the shape of a man’s hand that is shackled in an iron chain. “Don’t Touch Me” by Michael Nalini has needles sticking out of the bra cups.
More explicitly, an eccentric design by Lucia Dote shows a bra in which two plastic picture frames containing Pope John Paul II’s photograph and decorated with Christmas lights have been attached to the bra cups. The lights are turned on when the frames are plugged into an electric outlet.
Some of the works in the exhibit feature edgier designs. In “Antaeus,” Samuela Mazza presents a snakeskin shoe whose stilletto heel is in the shape of a man.
Intimate apparel becomes a form of wearable art
